    A fair appraisal, Wayne, if a little harsh. But there again, the truth does hurt.
    Our demise was forecast the minute the pre-season team line ups and results came in. City lacked any structure from the word GO. Just as a team believes and embraces success, a poorly assembled group will do likewise, negatively. Not only did Rahic dismantle a solid base, he managed, unchallenged, to map out Citys immediate future. Not just on the pitch, but in the offices and on the terraces, too. :(

    For anyone who likes their stats, Richards-Everton is currently rated the 3rd best player in league two. He has been our best signing so far I feel. Always looks composed

    Whoscored.com have opened up their stats to leagues one and two this week.

    He’s behind Rose and Hanson is rated first currently

    Virgil Richards-Everton.

    He's been very good, long may it continue. Time to keep POC next to him and really start to build a long lasting partnership.

    Well if I was a opposing teams fans signing NKP and asking our website I would be gutted. Accies fans comments seem much better so lets see how the lad does.

    Remind me how many games Andrew Davies played for us? He was a crock but we still signed him.

    Love that snippet, he can pass a ball, win tackles and make the opposition player know he's been tackled and looks to have pace for a big lad.

    It's good to get some deals done early, shows others who you are talking to that you are not bluffing them about what you intend to do/bring in. Helps to make their minds up as to who they will be playing with.

    Hopefully a good signing. Its a very league 2 signing and i would think one Bowyer will be pleased with. The boy will be a presence at the back but his appearances in his career up to date is a concern but he wont be anywhere near a top earner. Good luck to the lad.

    My take on the signing, is that it is a great unknown.

    Compare and contrast Ben Richards-Everton with Anthony O’Connor.

    They are both of a similar age. O’Connor is actually one year younger.

    O’Connor has played in the Scottish Premiership with 86 appearances over two seasons.

    Richards-Everton has played one tier down in the Scottish Championship 72 appearances over three seasons.

    O’Connor 300 appearances. Richards-Everton 167 appearances.

    So as far as I am concerned, evidence based performances for City, over the next seven months will inform my view.

    Biggest positive is getting players in early.

    Dunno, we were pretty good at getting relegated. Beat everyone else to it, even other piss poor teams!

    Amazing what a settled team and a game plan can do. There is very little difference between 90% of the clubs in league 2, all down to who executes their game plan better. Back to BRE, what every league 2 side needs. No nonsense with a winning mentality. Just don't ask him to pass.

    At the moment BRE is doing all that is required of a league two central defender, very dominant in the aid and distributes the ball well.
    As many have alluded to our problems are in midfield I liked what I saw of Pritchard and Ismail he liked to take his man on.

    Sounds like a player we lacked last season. But I will want and see how he performs.

    17 starts last season. 6 wins (no clean sheets) 4 losses (including 3 nil to us) 7 draws.

    Of those 17 starts he played 6 at CB, 4 at LB and 3 at RB... not sure about the rest as no data.

    In terms of injuries, he had knee surgery in 2016 and missed 5 games. Also shoulder injury in 2017, think he missed about 4 games.

    Interesting how he turned them down for us, but Accy always operate on a small budget so can’t have been to hard to persuade. Just a shame we couldn’t do a straight swap for half our squad.
